Description
This panel is interested in the possibilities of using fiction in climate research. As climate change is increasingly understood as a challenge for dominant ways of thinking, rethinking becomes a tool for change. Fiction’s role in research can therefore be a method of critique and reimagining, but more reflexively, it can push researchers to think beyond existing imaginaries.
Papers on this panel explore the role of fiction in understanding alternative future imaginaries from a variety of global positions. Together, these papers raise questions of whose futures are imagined and whose endings are considered inevitable.
